You can't build the export table in ldemul_finish because building the
export table produces yet another section that must be linked in (the
reloc section is a mess because of this, but at least it's one of the
last sections in the dll so has less ramifications if its size
changes).  Perhaps just the part about filling in the final values can
be shifted to the later stage?
